JOAT uPick | FIN!

[Cabd]

I'm not going to make people vote for my choice,I've articulated which direction I prefer but they can vote either way and I won't be too upset.

[Doctor Drew]

I'm 100% fine with Drew into me. That way we can get that 4 for 4 clean vote sweep.

Sounds like you know I will flip town

And let's make that 4/4 sweep a reality!
VOTE: Doctor Drew

So you only vote me when you get a couple votes on you?

Lol, ok

[Cabd]

Like, props to Drew if he can be THIS upbeat as the final scum in a game where they got 3-for-3'd but the emotional profile I expect here is bitter and annoyed and tense.

So that's what informs my ordering of elims. (well, that, and the giant case I wrote)

[Cabd]

Oh and right now my third is ircher, subject to change, but inventions don't really matter much in the grand scheme of things and I don't particularly feel GREAT about their content otherwise.

[lemon.tangerine]

Just make sure you're self-resolved before final 5 mmkay? Or otherwise people can quote this post while they put YOU into the woodchipper, lady the 2nd.

Hey now, why do you think Lemon is clearing me so hard?

Trust me when I say it'll be lots of fun~

Im just such a nice person basically whos a wolf tmi'ing you

[Ircher]

Day one ends on post 2353. All of Laplacian's ISO before this post should show a clear TRAJECTORY towards the reads he has, and his eventual targets, yes?

Let's look!


Lap's parity cop targets as claimed were:

Hu Tao, Lemon, and Dr. Drew

Day One Posts Mentioning Hu Tao

VOTE: Joyboy
Comrades, upon rereading I find Joyboy's roster of pirates and foes in revolutionary pamphlet #567 alarming. As has been called out by the ever-vigilant Doctor Drew and Lady Terminally Online, it included the absent light_ganski as an ally of Joyboy's under flimsy pretenses. Furthermore, the only two foes on the roster were Bell, a safe accusation at the time, and LTO, who is new to this union and its unique quirks. Joyboy then even says that LTO and Bell, his only two suspects are

not

aligned, meaning their read list only truly has one suspect in the end. I fear this incoherent list represents not Joyboy's true feelings, but was hastily built with ulterior motives. Joyboy is trying to deflect suspicion from away from his capitalistic lust for treasure.

Comrade, can I direct you to look at lemon?

Comrade Tao, I have already looked at lemon extensively, as per my grandiose speech in 318! I concluded that they where subtly undermining our union with their rhetoric. My post included both a vote for him and a delightful pun! I would be happy to vote him again should we convince more of our fellow workers of the world to unite in this cause. But first, I must investigate LTO's argument and Bell's rebuttal. This may take a while, as the combined length of both rivals the seminal work

Das Kapital

VOTE: Dunnstral

Comrade Firebringer, while our interactions in the past have sadly been few, I now feel compelled to ask why have you aimed your lens of suspicion at Comrade Dunnstral? Perusing the minutes of our past union meetings, the only time I can find you mentioning them was in missive #285. I had assumed this was in jest rather than a serious accusation of Dunn being a perfidious capitalist. Is there any further evidence for these aspersions so I may draw my own conclusions from your logic?

What do you think?

I think

I townread Firebringer and was confused by their vote, since I also townread Dunnstral. And it was right of me to ask since it was a meta argument and this is my 6th game on this site. I also think this is a bullshit post that exists solely because you've scumread me; I don't see anyone else asking other people questions getting

bold accusatory statements

. Likely case, you're tunneled. Worst case, scum trying to set me up as a future wagon.

And to get back in character. Something something unions good

If asking for an actual opinion is accusatory, then...I guess everything is accusatory. I have accused you of being scum, but directly giving you the opportunity to address my concerns is the opposite.

What are your HST and Lemon reads?

Comrade Titus, it was the bolding that I found offensive. As to your clarification and further questions, I have stated my opinions on many of our fellow workers throughout the game. My thoughts on Lemon.tangerine I have made abundantly clear; I find them suspicious across the board, from wording in early discussions, to an unprompted claim. I have happily voted them once, and would do so again without remorse or hesitation.

HolySpiritTurtle I find less clear due to their relative dearth of posts. I tentatively lean town, but this judgement may change after I see their case on Comrade Hu Tao.

I like HT & L_G's interactions around 1330ish.

Can we just put Pooky & Bell on opposite sides of the room? Bell's been the main character for like 90% of the game. Someone just cop/gunsmith him tonight so we can resolve it.

I'm also not reading any ISOs, used up all my tryhard energy thinking of synonyms for union and trying to remember how to spell bourgeoise

That's it. That's the entirety of direct mentions of their thoughts on Hu Tao one way or another before Day One ends. I'm supposed to believe this was his parity cop choice after leaving off on that positive note? (Oh, also, for the record, Hu Tao is NOT in his hero solve)

Let's do Drew next?

Wow. He literally only mentioned drew ONCE in passing as "Ever-vigilant" and then he's randomly in the hero solve?

Now Lemon gets plenty of mention, so let's go through Lemon.

Day One Posts Mentioning Lemon

Anyway inregards to our setup (i read someone posted it about being alot of 1-shot abilities which ofc it is lol) Id say that alot of ppl probably have much more creative abilities than on other forums.

Just a rumour i heard that setups are often more creative on mafiascum, sooo im expecting ppl to be doing more than complain abt union leaders lol

Aka throw nukes everywhere ty <3

Also n1 actions are gonna be p chaotic i assume bc 14 ppl all using joat actions lol (yes 15-1 is 14 after wagon)

So like what happens if everyone just kills another player?

Our noble group is 17 players, not 15. Likewise, we are blessed with a suite of one shots, made abundantly clear in the pre-game literature. Yet, this post is casual, nay, skeptical, about the existence of our one shots. Observe the hedging: "I read someone posted it", "a rumor", "probably have much more creative abilities". Our JOAT abilities were clear from the moment we signed up for the union!

COMRADES! I ask of you, why would a hard-working member of the proletariat ignore their unique skills and abilities? They would not. JOAT abilities are our way of interacting with the world, our way of finding information, our way of aiding and protecting allies, our way of furthering the perpetual march of progress! To ignore our skills is anathema to everything we stand for!

Therefore, there can be only one conclusion. Lemon.tangerine is a perfidious union-buster, as sour as his name. He has ignored his innate skills to focus on another ability, one shared with all scum. Murder.

VOTE: lemon.tangerine

Actually doesn’t this suggest otherwise? Omitting 2 players assumes 3-men team and if my brain still works correctly 17p usually has 4-men team, no?

I would indeed expect a 13-4 split; the foul bourgeoise would have sent no less than that to try, futile though it may be, to shatter our noble spirits. No, Lemon's omission of two comrades is a minor error that I would expect from distraction; instead the smoking gun of their perfidy comes from the skepticism of abilities. Reread their first sentence and tell me that it is not hedging, that is not feigned nonchalance. While the braying of Bell's possible slip still rings in our ears, lemon's words offer a far more damning perspective.

Omgus is nai

I concur. It is a natural reaction when one doubts your revolutionary spirit to lash back with harsh words and accusations. But while nai, it should be still noted in the annals of history in case a pattern of desperate flailing occurs.

Having revisited the minutes of our last union organizing meeting, I have identified several comrades who I believe are wholly devoted to our grand cause.

LTO: Has made herself a valuable member of this union with quick and intelligent reads
Pooky: A friendly comrade. Pocketed me early, so I must reevaluate in days to come
Dunnstral: While quiet, his words and votes are powerful and strategic
Titus: We may disagree, but she has a strong and confident spirit
Firebringer and Maid Cafe: Veteran union workers alike, whose casual play helps put all our hearts at ease.

I also fervently want to believe that Comrades Ircher and Relativistic Harmony can be trusted, but they have not yet demonstrated enough praxis to enmesh themselves within in my good graces.

Upon Joyboy and lemon.tangerine I have already expressed my doubts. Comrade Bell has also been troublesome to interpret, with actions both noble and base. However, suspicion is edging out. Any of these uncouth hobgoblins I would be happy to drag before a council of peers, as well as those suspiciously absent in discussions or in content.

Good day comrades! I have begun to catch up with the discussions I missed. Oh, that I could forsake sleep to forever revel in the spirit of the proletariat!

Comrade Bell continues to confound. I am no longer unsure if he is a noble revolutionary or a foul capitalist. While I will vote if necessary, I instead urge one of our union's cunning investigators to observe hia actiona closely during the night, as to truly divine his motives. Indeed, perhaps the second night, as his alleged isolation would render our investigator's hard work moot.

I have had little change of heart towards lemon.tangerine this past day. I see no reaaon to claim abilities in the manner they did unprompted, except to gain credibility with an alleged investigative role. Comrades, I remind all of you that fake claiming is easier than normal due to our suites of abilities.

In the past, I expressed my fervent wish to be able to trust Relativitic Harmony's revolutionary spirit. While my opinion has congealed, my wish did not come true. I am beginnimg to suspect RH to be a blaggart and infiltrator of our great union! I ask of you, noble workers, reread their words with a keen eye, see if you can see what I see

As page 47 heralds a friendly wager, I feel it unsporting to not enter

Spoiler: guess

Lemon, RH, Joyboy, Dr Drew

I'm calling the first post a clear RVS vote. The second post turns it into a serious scum read.



Here at least we have a clear trajectory to the read. But with that said... Here's why these targets fucking suck:


A parity cop's optimal town usage is to use a fairly well known target whose alignment you are nearly positive on, alongside two others. This gives you the most bang for your buck. None of the three names he chose as initial targets are in his "townpool".

What is the optimal MAFIA usage of a parity cop? Hint: Pick two murky towns and one scum and then when that scum flips you have a guaranteed mislim, OR when one of those towns dies anyways, well, now you have your murk-scum "cleared as town".

Here's his town pool. Why did none of these serve as the calibration choice?

LTO: Has made herself a valuable member of this union with quick and intelligent reads
Pooky: A friendly comrade. Pocketed me early, so I must reevaluate in days to come
Dunnstral: While quiet, his words and votes are powerful and strategic
Titus: We may disagree, but she has a strong and confident spirit
Firebringer and Maid Cafe: Veteran union workers alike, whose casual play helps put all our hearts at ease.

Why are the results "surprising" here?

Good morning comrades! I hope that we are all well rested and ready to resume our glorious revolution! Through a combination of meditation, interrogation, and rooting through garbage for suspicious evidence, I believe I have identified several comrades who are, surprisingly, trustworthy

From Laplacian's POV, he has a parity result on three people, none of which he was town reading, but one was NOT in his scum pool, and was in his "nulls" as of this point? Why should it be "surprising" to get a result of Hu Tao town? Hint: Because this is informed guilt and he knows Hu Tao is indeed his partner who he spent day one avoiding talking to or about much.

I think the part I find most compelling is that Laplacian is "surprised" at "Hu Tao town"; the assumption that all the targets were town (while maybe more likely than the opposite) does read as informed.

This entire case hinges on the fact that I didn't immediately spew any minor suspicion I have. I'm only going to effort post if I have actual evidence. Vibes don't merit a huge wordy post, and huge wordy posts were the only way I was posting D1.

And huge fucking lol on complaining about optimal play. You want to nab people for playing suboptimally, let's policy MariaR for the N1 lightning rod fucking up every action.

I'm actually think MariaR isn't scum anymore. I looked at interactions between Hu Tao and light_ganski with MariaR, and it looked to me like they were trying to push MariaR as their designated mislim.

[Ircher]

I find myself in need of the syryana nodding head gif.


Also proof you haven't been reading the thread because you already know alignments:

You want to nab people for playing suboptimally, let's policy MariaR for the N1 lightning rod fucking up every action.

I feel like everyone got deja vu because I was clear about it.

I'm not lying. There's no reason for me to come into the thread and make up some sort of wild lie like that.

Do I know why Ircher's action went through? No. All I know is I used a lighting rod causing every action to be on Bell. Maybe action order messes with that but shrug.jpg

Can you claim your lightning rod ability again? What modifiers does it have and why did it not show up in watcher results?

All actions go to the person I visit. The only modifier involved is not relevant (as in doesn't matter to the issue at hand) why it did not show up the watcher? your guess is as good as mine.

If you're curious the modifier in question was

compulsive

I fucking know it was compulsive. They could have warned us so every invest results that night didn't get burnt.

That would defeat the purpose, wouldn't it?

[Cabd]

Ircher, can you fill in my chart for your self town case por favor? You seem to be kind of tangential to the entire thread right now and it's kinda weird

Nineteenth Century Unions in the United States and Great Britian faced similar issues and obstacles: restraint-of-trade and conspiracy laws. Their approaches to overcoming obstacles were not at all the same. Unions in Great Britain used political activism as their primary tool. From this activism, the Labour Party arose. In the United States, the primary tool was collective bargaining to win economic improvements.

Ah, the sweet sound of a non-pagetop votecount of resignation-shame.

[Doctor Drew]

I could vote Ircher just for quoting an already long post.....that has already been quoted

[Dunnstral]

No, I know what Beeboy did.

Also isn't the optimal play for like, us to vote out Lap Drew checks Fire or Joy (prob Fire given how popular Joy was)

Vote out lovers carry on?

If Doctor Drew waits a night they can find the current mafia making kills. otherwise it could be one of the already dead mafia who targeted those players.

[Dunnstral]

What is the optimal MAFIA usage of a parity cop? Hint: Pick two murky towns and one scum and then when that scum flips you have a guaranteed mislim, OR when one of those towns dies anyways, well, now you have your murk-scum "cleared as town".

First usage here doesn't make sense to me, as it is trading 1 town for 1 mafia which is not a good play.

[HolySpiritTurtle]

Idk if it’s worth delving into Lap when

Drew > Ircher > Lap

I townread Ircher, but I have to recognize at some point that Ircher's N1 action shenanigan was left unsolved.

Like I’m in no rush and if we want to play safe and have Drew try to use the forensic joyboy, then that works for me too.

[Dunnstral]

But light_ganski could have killed Joyboy.

[Dunnstral]

If we wait an extra night we know the kill has to come from the currently alive mafia. Or they will need to block or kill Drew if he is town.

[lemon.tangerine]

hm dunno what happened tbh

[Cabd]

If we wait an extra night we know the kill has to come from the currently alive mafia. Or they will need to block or kill Drew if he is town.

Are you still in contact with Pooky?

What if anything has he noted in relation to the new posts that have hit the thread?

[HolySpiritTurtle]

But light_ganski could have killed Joyboy.

Oh yeah

[HolySpiritTurtle]

For a hot minute I confused light with lemon and I was like “why would lemon kill Joyboy?”

[Dunnstral]

If we wait an extra night we know the kill has to come from the currently alive mafia. Or they will need to block or kill Drew if he is town.

I'm in contact with Bell. Who sometimes sends stuff over from Pooky. Pooky wanted it known that they suspect Ircher some more.

[Cabd]

And Bell? What exactly does sir bell have to say?

[MariaR]

Thank you for reminding me why I thought Drew was outted scum coming into today

VOTE: Drew

[MariaR]

My role makes every visit besides fractional ones go to my target. This was stated.

So, with that in mind and Drew's role that makes him using that on Firebringer basically a guilty.

Or at least, 66% if the mafia that dies D2 did the kill. However, I feel like everyone in their right mind takes those odds. The role just feels like a "I'm gonna buy myself some time."

The choice isn't really that important on who goes over if the entire thread does agree we're going Lap/Drew Lover pair and Ircher but yeah.

We need to get rid of lover pair next so no extra kill or 3p stuff etc happens so by the time the guilty from Drew comes along it would be a 50/50 regardless assuming nothing happens. The only way to avoid this would be using it tonight on 1 of Joy and Fire and you can see how that goes.
